Hi Guys.
Been lurking for a while but this is my first post. I have tried to do as much self research as I can, lots of searches and link chasing etc but feel like I have gone as far as I can on my own. If I have missed something obvious, or just been plain stupid, then I apologise in advance, but we all got to make mistakes, right?
Ok, I have been trying to get weather Data for custom cities on my polaris (with manila2d). I have been able to edit the XML and the custom cities show up in the list in the weather tab, but when i try to update, it says unable to retrieve date. This only happens with the custom cities, all others work fine.
I have tried to follow various threads relating to editing the connection, both by connection setings, and pocket hosts but still have no luck.
I then tried to follow the various stages of N2A's thread, but it seems the only current working way involves a patched HTChome.dll, which I believe manila does not have?
I read into editing the registry to get weather to work in TF3D and tried to do something similar, but again, nothing.
I have managed to get it to work whilst running TF3D and WeatherDatabaseEditor but was not happy enough with the running(bit laggy) of TF3D to use it day to day so reverted back to 2D, and WDE does not work with 2D.
So I now seem stuck. At the moment I am runnin SPB shell (with weather) with a diamond theme, on a second today screen as a sort of work around, but its hardly perfect.
Have any of you guys got weather to work with Manila 2D, or have any sugestions for further reading?
Thanks for any help

What ROM you running? most of the custom ROMs have this built in (already working).
So I keep reading, but out of the ones I have tried, none seem to work, though it could just be me being inept. Currently running 3lite3 Full but just about to try KhanX Touch Navia 1.5, fingers crossed...
Is working well with Shiwani's R1 diamond, which seems to be a nice rom btw.
Thanks for help

mp3trimmer already comes WITH itje's rom. no need to install it again. which "social network engine" are you talking about?
you'll find all programs if you click "start" (upper left) and then "all programs" (lower left).
I used this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442154 to get the cabs and installed them. Cant find the option to trim MP3s at all. and i downloaded the Touch-It Blackstone Social Network engine. Any ideas?
Im hoping that by downloading the engine that the social networking sites would pop up under the internet tab where youtube is...you know where i mean?
oh, my mistake. you installed the cab and not his rom with manila cooked in...
okay, i'm sorry, but i never used stock rom with manila-cab. but i can tell you this:
- manila works best if cooked in, use a custom rom (i.e. itje's touch-it v.10. but there are many good roms, have a look in the rom-developing-part)
- the cab you used is from november 2008, there's a newer version out now
- "social engine": never saw it in the internet tab, it connects your contacts with a corresponding facebook-friend.
so, bottom line:
programs should show where i told you above, even in the cab i think. and: manila as a cab is slow, cooked-in it flies these days.

I am LOST, however up for installing whatever makes it run that little bit smoother! I like the look of manila i am using now but if there is an upto date one then i can give that a go.
I havent found the ROM you suggested but will keep looking, the first thread i came across (the main one) seems to have the download links removed, any ideas?
Thanks so far mate, youve been a star
Ahhhh think i have found the ROM now just waiting for the file to download now for the installation...

typing this from my mobile, so to keep it short:
- you need to apply "hard-spl" first to flash a custom rom (it's a sticky)
- if you're flashing itje's v.10.2, be aware that there is a bug for some people with sending sms. i NEVER had it though. also you'll need to apply 2 or 3 fixes.
- READ READ READ!
if you're going to flash ANY custom rom you'll have to learn a lot. "just install and everything's perfect" won't work. and everytime you flash a new rom you'll loose all data on your phone, so make backup first!!!
if you're willing to get into this - do it. it's worth it and it will really improve your x1. if you want to have everything working out of the box with many restrictions - apple makes such a device...
Ill let you know how i get on, im just loading 10.2 now so we shall see

have fun then.
hope you did a backup of your data - if not, don't come yelling if it's all gone...
edit: the fixes needed
since the thread on v10 is pretty much to read (it started as v7...), for starters the 3 fixes needed with this version.
- Advanced Network (found in itje's first post, under the dl-link for the rom itself)
- "v10.2_corrected_highlights.zip" (also posted by itje, somewhere in the thread, search for it)
extract the files in these two zips to your \windows-directory (on your x1) with total commander (comes with the rom)
- v10.2_smaberg_1_percent_battery.cab (install normally. this fixes a bug that the battery-meter always shows 100% full. alternatively you could install another icon-set from this forum. watch out if they're for WinMob 6.1 or 6.5 though!)
the cooked-in build of opera mobile 9.5 doesn't work with the hardware-keyboard of xperia. either install build 16194 (iit's from an official x1-rom) or try opera mobile 9.7 beta.
every other question you should ask in the thread of the rom you've chosen.
this should set you up, from here on it's all tweaking, lots of reading, learning and adding apps to your likeness.
i have a problem like this one: i installed the touch it manila cab and then i installed the touch it htc album but... i cannot find the program... what do i have to do?
EDIT: ok i found two exe files in the windows folder wich are : HTCAlbum.exe and AlbumSearch.exe, and when i run each of them i have HTC Album... btw the problem is that i have no text in the menus... what may be the problem?
Thanks for all the advice guys...im installed and up and running and so far so good, no issues at all, the sms seems to be working fine etc.
Ill apply the fixes as noted so far as and when i come across the issues!
Cheers again all

Hallo boys and girls. Thanks to this forum I have learned how to flash my Touch HD ROM and have had fun with several different ones. But I still find a few things I can't find the simple answer to and I promise I have searched a lot before posting.
1) Rotation. Some ROMs seem to auto rotate, some partially autorotate, some need G-Sensor and some use MaxManila. I can't quite work out what is supposed to happen. Is there such a thing as a ROM where every screen rotates without having to do anything. XannyTech with MaxManila seemed to rotate everything but only after rotation is switched on (derr). With G Sensor, you seem to need to access each application, do the stylus thing and reset.
Have I got that right or am I missing something blindingly obvious?
2) Is it a Touch HD or HD2? Sometimes when I am looking for other apps, there are versions for HD and for HD2. After I have installed the new ROM, does my device "think" it is an HD or HD2?
3) From many posts, I gain the opinion that Sense (Manila) 2.1 is not as hard on resources as Sense 2.5. But shortcuts to programs are only available on 2.5 (I found someone working on this for 2.1 but not released yet). I think Agenda view is also only on 2.5.
4) On most of the new ROMs I flashed, the phone can hang quite badly sometimes. It seems to be mostly when accessing contacts. I have gone back to a ROM with Sense 2.1 now to see if it is a 2.1 vs 2.5 thing. Is there something else I should try, is it to do with HTC Messaging or just part of the fun of trying different ROMs?
5) And how should I work out whether to install an app to device or storage card - which is "best" and why?
Trying different ROMS and reading the posts here is good fun (mostly) so thanks to you all for that. But sometimes to flash and re-set up everything up so I am ready for work with everything, satnav, contacts all ready and working for Monday can take quite a long time so your help is always appreciated. Thanks.
Hello,
I recently flashed my TP2 for the first time to CookieMonster's Hometab Manila 2.5.201225. I installed hdwalls without any trouble, however when i attempted to select a backround it just gave me a never ending spinning wheel. Then when i tried to restart, TF3D would not function properly and the phone became very glitchy. I have so far done 3 hard resets and no luck.
Any ideas?
Could be several things. Did you install the HQwallpaper patch which corresponds to the Manila version?
Did you install the latest HDwalls?
Did you make sure the background cab was made for Sense 2.5?
Other than that, I can't think of anything that might cause it.
yes, i installed HDwalls .24b and HQwallpaper patch 2.5.20xx. However when i try to install the backround cab i still get the loading screen and when i try to install the cab manually it asks me to disable TF3D which after that the phone does not function properly
I've had different problems with HDWall, after a lot of frustration i was pointed in the direction of BGtweak which also has its own thread on xda, i would suggest you take a look at that and see if that suits you, its pretty decent for myself on a 21090 build of sense 2.5 with GTX by energy for an att tp2

I just got my HTC Touch Pro 2 2 months ago, and it came with Mobile 6.5. Ever since, I've been screwing with it, and I just landed on this forum as well as some other sites. I'm seeing people using words like TF3D, Manila, Sense, etc, which I have no idea what they are.
I'm just trying to figure out how to make my clock transparent, background on all pages and play divx/xvid videos. I found a 9 page long BG for all pages thread, and I found a cab that worked to make all pages the wallpaper, but it messed up my clock in the process. The accompanying cab to restore the clock didn't work. The screenshot of the clock is attached to this post.
I noticed no divx/xvid capability in WMP just like the Windows for Desktops, but it seems like getting those videos to play was more complicated than I thought. I tried the divx player which is just slow. Can someone guide a newbie around?
The easiest way...
Deleted as the post did not apply to Sense 2.1
He isn't using manila 2.5.
Sense/manila are the same thing, it's just that older versions of manila were called the TouchFlo (TF3D) and the newest builds which are manila 2.1 and manila 2.5 are also referred to as sense 2.1 and sense 2.5. How you can tell which you have is going on the settings tab and looking at the "About" (or something lol sorry) and it should say. Another way is seeing as how you don't have any shortcut buttons on your Home tab means 2.1 .
Sorry I can't help you with your clock issue, try looking up "sense 2.1 clock" and try installing one but keep in mine the details as to what else will be installed along side the clock .
Get TCPMP for playing videos. It won't play everything, but is far better then WMP. Best player around for the TP2.

If the cab you installed messed up your clock, try uninstalling the cab.
Got transparent clock and BG on all pages working for 2.1, using the 3 cabs I've attached.
Only things left I'm working on are 1% battery meter and the 1:02 clock flip fix. I found a clock cab I'll install now. The battery meter I heard requires custom taskbars to show it? Just gotta dig around more to find out which ones will work.

be careful about what you try to use! check your manila version. most of cookies stuff is for 2.5, as well as most of the stuff on here and it can bite you if your not careful(had to do several hard resets when i got mine because i did't read) i got my phone in feb. but it still has 2.1 so unless your ready to flash a rom to upgrade, store all of your cabs on your storage card to save yourself some headaches.
Sorry about that. I didn't realize you were using Sense 2.1. Hopefully no damage done.

No worries. Still learning about this stuff myself. Working on getting stuff off my ipod and onto my phone but I have a handful of DRM protected things. That's a bit more complicated than I thought. Once I can work around that, get my usb -> headset adapter and a fm transmitter, I'll have succeeded in combining my Samsung Gravity, iPod Nano, and iPod Touch into one device: HTC Touch Pro 2.
I've installed RealVGA and am running 96 dpi. I installed the M2D and everything seems to be running fine, but it isn't expanded to the whole screen. Anyone have a fix? I've been struggling with this crap for a couple days now..
nm.. i fixed that part so it expands to the whole screen by copying the htc home settings file to my registry, but now it's glitchy on the right side when switching between tabs
can you explain? i used m2d for a bit, but in the end i decided it wasnt worth it, because all the extras that go with it are very incompatible. screenshot would be nice =] im a noob for the most part, but i can try to help you out. i know that manila in one cab is a great way to go. personally though i use titanium on my flashed rom
